Me thinks that since this thread started some entrepreneurs have dusted off their old copies and decided to sell due to the raised profile that this has brought.

The book has been out of print for many years. I have had many enquiries over the past 10 years asking for that book.Donald passed away in early December 2005 and after his wife died a few years later there were I believe still a few copies still in the family but there were few direct relatives left so what happened to those books I've no idea.Not much help but that's the history of things.Try the Groat offices as they might have been the publishers. If not, then the Northern Times.

I think Donald may have published the book under Norland Publishing, he certainly did with his later Book of Lybster which was printed by Northern Times Ltd, We met Donald and Jenny in 2004 when we were reseaching my wifes family. they were absolutely charming company and a sad loss to the village of Lybster.

Try abebooks.co.uk. Also it was published by North of Scotland Newspapers so I agree with embow - try the Groat offices. You never know. Good luck.

Have the book - original price sticker still on it - £13.95! Sorry, it's not for sale.

I am sure there used to be a copy in Wick library. Might be in the referance section which would mean you would have to read it in there.

this post just caught my attention. I would also like to get a hold of one of Donald's books, but i'm looking for 'The Book of Lybster'.

I also met Donald back in 1998 when I was visiting from Canada and he showed me the croft (ruins) where my Grandad grew up and introduced me to some 3rd and 4th cousins that still lived near by.

He was still finishing up the book at that point and he told me that there was a section in it all about my Great-Grandad!! If I can't find a copy of the book to own, I was hoping that I could maybe find someone who owned it so that I could possibly get scanned copies of the pages about my G-Grandad (John Sinclair from Upper Lybster known as 'Deddies John', husband of christina Paterson and then Daisy Georgeson).

Is there any chance that one of you who own the Stroma book also happen to own the Lybster book? or maybe i'm even luckier and someone knows how i could get a copy for myself?

any info would be greatly appreciated.

Are you still looking for someone to copy pages from Book of Lybster, as I have one and would be prepared to do so. did your g-grandfather live at Summerfield, as I have found that reference. Do you know what he did as that would be helpful in looking for other references.

There is a copy on Amazon.co. for £45:00 right now.

Don't know which side of the county you are but Thurso reference library had copies of many of these booklets when I was doing some research but as they are in temporary premises at the moment, not sure if that section has been set up.

I would like to draw attention to the Copyright issues in what you are suggesting.
